Although we all love the Red John story arc , the plot was going on for too long and we were being piled with tons of clues which were leading us to nowhere near guessing who Red John was. Before season 6 began, i was happy Red John was going to finally be revealed in the 6th year.............. and along with the reveal i pondered how Heller was going to piece all those clues in episode 8 alone. The Red John arc should have ended sooner before things got out of hand and with Heller repeatedly throwing random clues we were ultimately given no explanation.
